The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, June 1, 2021

Dear John,

Today we are revisiting the five most popular journal articles from May.

May's Most-Read Articles

Don't miss our five most-read journal articles from the May 2021
issue.

* Marissa Reitsma and coauthors analyzed racial/ethnic disparities

in COVID-19 exposure risk, testing, test positivity, and case rates in
California.

* Christopher Whaley and coauthors found that vertical integration of
physician group practices

increases the use of hospitals for common diagnostic imaging and
laboratory tests and increases Medicare reimbursement rates.

* In May's Narrative Matters essay, Krista Lyn Harrison describes how
the hospice model fails when patients die slowly
.

* As part of the Leading To Health series
,
David Tuller highlights Children's Mercy hospital in Kansas City,
which has played a pioneering role in pursuing patient- and
family-centered care.

* The May GrantWatch column

by Lee L. Prina discusses a broad sampling of foundations' recent
funding in a variety of COVID-19 areas, including vaccination, data
collection and analysis, mental health, and legal services.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Robert L. Phillips and coauthors discuss
how existing deprivation indices can support clinicians

addressing the social needs of disadvantaged patient populations.

Next Week: Vabren Watts
,
Health Affairs Health Equity Project Director, will be speaking at The
Virtual National Health Equity Summit

on a panel titled "Advancing Health Equity in Health Services Research
and Health-Related Scholarly Publishing." He will be joined by Health
Affairs authors Rhea Boyd, Edwin Lindo
,
and Fernando De Maio
.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: Health Affairs is continuing the
Elevating Voices series in June to celebrate Pride Month. Each day we
will highlight a Health Affairs journal article that focuses on health
and well-being among the LGBTQ communities.

Today, we look back at an article by Marsha Regenstein and coauthors
about medical-legal partnerships, which highlighted Whitman-Walker
Health
.
Originally a gay men's sexually transmitted disease clinic when it
opened in 1973, Whitman-Walker Health later became an AIDS service
organization and, in 2005, a federally qualified health center serving
the LGBTQ and HIV-positive communities.
